Breakfast one day early in 2016 at the Ashram, was scrambled egg, bread and spicy chickpea stew. Cooking equipment was rudimentary but the volunteer chefs still managed to produce sustaining meals such as this for hundreds of people at once. There would be a long queue!

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
